"The perfect voice for a good story"

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes - the story is great and the narrator is spot on.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Michael. Because he's a strong male lead, which I enjoy the most.

What does Annie Aldington bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

She narrates it brilliantly, but I can't say that she brought anything more than my own imagination would have created.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There are always certain sayings, retorts and opinions that Martina Cole adds in her stories that make me chuckle.

"Dreadful"

A real waste of one of my audible credits! Poorly written and badly read, the interview with the author at the end was the last nail in the coffin! I shall not bother with this author again.

"I totally enjoyed it"

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dangerous Lady?

I don't want to say as it would possibly spoil the book for others, suffice to say there are several!

Have you listened to any of Annie Aldington’s other performances? How does this one compare?

This lady is a superb performer, I have listened to several of her readings and they are consistantly good but at the same time her charactors do vary from book to book and are all individuals in their own right.As always she adds significantly to the listening experience.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Neither, I just enjoyed all aspects of it.

Any additional comments?

I have listened to several of Martinas books and they are all well written and compulsive listening from start to finish.<br/>Again I would say these books are not for those easily offended by bad language.<br/>I will be purchasing more of her books and have gone straight on to the sequel for this one.
